Health Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad was earlier quoted as saying that the spread of the Covid-19 virus infection remained under control and that the country was in the early containment phase. Covid-19 was previously identified as the Wuhan virus or 2019-nCoV and it was first detected in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, China, on December 31, 2019.
Dr Lee said the gesture ― placing the right hand over the heart area of the chest ― would prevent people from touching each other, thus reducing the possibility of contracting the virus. Reuters reported yesterday that China's Hubei province recorded 242 deaths on Wednesday , so far the highest number of deaths reported in a single day. Hubei's Health Commission also reported 14,840 new Covid-19 positive cases on the same day.
Yesterday, AFP reported that several villages in Vietnam with about 10,000 people situated close to the nation's capital were placed under quarantine yesterday after six cases of Covid-19 were discovered there.
